Just curious.
Was reading an article that many GI/digestion problems are a natural result of ancestry.
*shrug*
The idea being that ok see Europeans farmed, ate lotsa bread and milks and spices and overall variety. So their systems got adjusted to change an all.
While ofcource say early American Indians, well some did farm, but they ate more of a diet Atkins would be proud of. I dunno if they even knew of bread and milk.
Many areas of the World just did not eat with the variety and milk/bread consumption that Europeans did and maybe some Mediterrean areas.
So I dunno whatcha think??
I'm mostly German Jew-desendant from Spanish Jews, American Indian Choctaw, and English. Funny thing I am mostly English. I do have some African and Irish in the mix.
So I guess ya never know what part of your ancestry will form your GI.
So much of me is English, but I get alotta my degestion issues and medical issues from my mom and she gets it from her mom whose mom was full blood Choctaw.
Makes sence.
Do you think Drs maybe onto somethin with this??
The idea being if they can pretty much prove this than that means certain nationalites may be carefull to give their kids too much variety, milk, spices, veggie variety etc.
And to do so maybe what messes them up later in life....kinda like when you know food allergies run in your family and you wanna err on the safe side then and not give your kids that.

Half irish, half french. Have ibs and fibro on both sides of my family.
Any japanese or fins here? High rate of lactose intolerance in both those countries (something like 80%).

I read somewhere that IBS is almost unheard of in Asian countries. Something to do with how they eat lots of rice, fish and vegetables and don't have the fatty American diets that so many people here eat. Wonder if it's more diet by ethnicity than actually ancestry.
I'm as white as they get - part English, part Scottish.

I'm Irish/English.
Also have Rosacea (redness, acne-type stuff on face especially around nose & mouth - sun is major trigger) and researchers credit the same ancestral background as this article you've mentioned. Interesting.

I'm mostly Irish, little scot,french and german. Hey I had another idea about all this, I'm 43 and in the sixties many babies started solid food in the first two months. My mother was feeding me when I was four weeks old. We all know now that an infant is not fed solid food until they are much older. Anyone have thoughts about that?

Irish!
I have often thought that ancestry had something to do with it also as I had read about Asians not having as much of this.
